When a layer of air rests on another layer of different temperature and density the surface of contact often reflects light and acts as a mirror. If the surface is lower than the observer's eye the reflection resembles that produced by a body of water, and a mirage results. When tho reflecting surface is above the eye it is like a mirror held face downwards overhead. The objects therefore appear inverted.
